Twelve and eighteen? Give them the Sunfish! I know mine is about as much fun
as you can have on the water.
Build something else for yourself.

I bet the windsprint would work well with the Sunfish hardware.
Just a thought.

Sunfish, and two is not necessarily a crowd.

I started to check my books and I can't find " Feaderwind "( that
means that there is a book from Mr Bolger that I haven't, what is the
name of that book?)
I did find that " Pirate Racer " and " Tortoise " use the lateen
sail , why he didn't used it in " Brick " ( he says in the book that
is a scaled up version of Tortoise ) ?
If I make "June Bug" I supose I need to keep the center of the sail
in the same place as the original sail design?

Dave Carnell uses a sunfish rig on the $200 sailboat
that was derived from a Bolger design:

Hi, I have been thinking in building one of Bolger designs and this
morning I got a Sunfish ( for free ) with all the hardware ( the
daggerboard is rotten but the rest is ok , sail, boom, mast, rudder,
etc)an I already have a small trailer.
But it is still a one person sailboat: ok to learn But I can't take
my daughter(s) with me. So I still am thinking in building something
and use the sunfish hardware.
Any suggestion that I can use with this hardware? Should I make Brick
or June Bug or other?
Any Suggestion will be apreciated
